Boalt Hall Presents the 2003 Jensen AwardBoalt Hall will present the 2003 Judge D. Lowell Jensen Public Service Award to Justice Robert Puglia ’58 on Wednesday, May 7. Established in 1998, the Jensen Award is given each year to a prominent Boalt graduate for his or her outstanding commitment to public service in the legal field.

The Honorable Robert Puglia has enjoyed a long and distinguished career, including 27 years on the bench.

He served the last seven of those years as the senior presiding justice of the California appellate system. Some 375 of his opinions are published in the official reports.

The award will be presented at a luncheon in Sacramento. David Ismay ’05 and Quirina Orozco ’05 will also be presented with Jensen fellowships, awarded each year to enable students to pursue summer public interest work.
